Wanted: Greek actor with a conscience
By Makarios Drousiotis
DEMANDS that the recent statements by Turkish actor Attila Olgaç be exploited politically have now become universal. The government has already announced that they will raise the matter with the Permanent Representatives Committee of the Council of Europe and seek to secure Turkey’s condemnation on war crimes. I am afraid that once more we are being guided by emotion at the expense of reason.
For the sake of argument, let us accept the veracity of Olgaç’s claims. Beyond the shock they cause, they add nothing to what we already know. Are not invasion, ethnic cleansing and colonisation war crimes? And if we have not managed to get Turkey condemned of these in the 1970s and ’80s when refugees were still living in tents, can we manage it now after we ourselves let Turkey off the hook with our clumsy handling in 2004?
Turkey’s condemnation in is already in its fourth interstate recourse by Cyprus to the Council of Europe. Yet a few months ago, the member countries of the Council of Europe granted more votes in favour of Turkey becoming a member of the UN Security Council than they did in favour of Austria.
When we refer to human rights, we should be deeply convinced of the justice of those rights, and not use them selectively only when those concern our own community or nation.
In August 1974, three entire villages of Turkish Cypriots were annihilated by EOKA B. How many people know that it was only after the execution of the entire male population of the village of Tochni that the first organised transportation of Turkish Cypriot civilians to the occupied north – the widows and orphans of Tochni – was arranged, for humanitarian reasons? Why has this society covered the murderers only because the exactors spoke Greek and their victims spoke Turkish? Is this not hypocritical?
The list of 500 missing Turkish Cypriots includes the names children as young as three or four years of age. The list published in the official gazette of the government on May 12, 2003. Approximately half were innocent civilians who were abducted and murdered in the period from 1963 to 1967.
Among them are the names of 32 Turkish Cypriots who disappeared in Famagusta between May and June, 1964. These people were hapless citizens who were murdered as reprisals for the deaths of two Greek officers and one Cypriot policeman who entered the Turkish quarter of Famagusta bearing arms and in civilian clothes and who subsequently clashed with Turkish Cypriots.
“No action is known to have been taken to bring these responsible to trial,” wrote the then Secretary General of the United Nations, U Thant, in a report on the facts. “In spite of repeated communications by UNFICYP to authorities at all levels, including a letter to the President to trace the whereabouts or the remains of these persons there has been no progress at all in locating them,” the same report mentions.
One group of these missing people were soaking in a well for 44 years and were found last year in Paralimni, after excavations made by the Investigating Committee on Missing Persons.
Many ask, “Why do you raise the subject of the Turkish Cypriot victims now that it is Turkey who is in the dock as a result of Olgaç’ statements?”
Firstly, in my conscience, all Cypriots are equal – no matter which community they belong to. And secondly, and more substantially, I believe that we will find salvation through catharsis – not in the courtrooms.
If something of value has arisen out of all this, it is the shock to public opinion in Turkey itself. It has suddenly been realised that the “peacekeeping operation” of 1974 was a war, with all the attendant extreme barbarity.
Unless we all experience the shock of the truth, unless we all understand the other person’s pain, we will never find our way to deliverance. We will always remain miserable, always bemoaning our wicked destiny and cursing ‘the foreigners’ for hating and undermining us.
So – Wanted: Greek Actor with a Conscience...

Yes, and the truth is that Cyprus has been denied its freedom and self-determination by foreign invaders, and the only thing that the Cypriots ever fought for and will continue to fight for, is for freedom, democracy and human rights.
There would be no need for EOKA, "Akritas" or anything else, if all these invaders would allow the Cypriot people to have their self-determination and democratically and peacefully decide the destiny of their own island. All conflicts and wars between Cypriots and Turks in Cyprus were started by the Turks, and they come here crying because they had (comparatively few) losses in those conflicts as well, as if we should have just stand there and allow them to kill us and take away our rights without fighting back.
You invade our island, enslave and exploit Cyprus and its people, kill Cypriots by the 10s of thousands, and then you come here to complain because Cypriots fight for their freedom??
You can keep Bananiots as yous slaves. They are always happy to bend and be fucked by you. They are always happy to support your nationalism and expansionism against our island, while they will never dare to support the self-determination rights of the people of this island.
But the rest of us will continue to fight for justice and freedom for our island, and we will NEVER surrender to any foreign invader.

Allow me to introduce myself Bananiot. My parents are both Greek Cypriot. As a child i lived in Cyprus but was taught and brought up for the most part in America and have great love for the United States. USA, USA USA!! I am the complete opposite of my parents. I love American football, hate soccer...its the superball tonight!! I am not into politics but i do consider my self an independent (lean more towards the right) for example...my first vote in US elections went for, drum role please-- for Bush I did not vote in the last elections but leaned toward Obama. I hope he does not steer this country too much to the left. As for Cypriot politics, my political leaning does not change because i am in a different country. In Cypriot politics my vote goes for DIKO which is a centralist party after all.
Get a clue, Bananiot
Bananiot has great praise for Anglo-Saxon countries but always seems to bring Cyprus down. Let me tell you a story about a British Cypriot passenger that i recently had the misfortune of sitting next to on one of my trips to Cyprus. I will call this British Cypriot twit "Bana". Bana thought he was all knowing. He reminded me of you Bananiot...old and clueless. Had that Brrrrritish accent and smelled like one too. How many drrrrrinks have you had, Bana?
What luck, the plane was filled with hot females and here i was talking politics with Bana. Bana and i first agreed that Cypriots were a bit filled with conspiracies...everything is the British and the Americans' fault Bana chuckled. He talked about the war on fanatic Islam and how it was right…said he would vote conservative in the next British election and how those new immigrants arriving in England should learn English. Ok, that sounded good to me but I still felt pissed that I was not sitting next to one of the many females I had the pleasure of talking to before I boarded the plane. Now we came to Cypriot politics and how backward the Cypriots are. Ohh how migrants are treated wrongly, how he was a long time AKEL supporter and how Akel's policies are being watered down by diko. We are not Greek Cypriots, WE ARE CYPRIOTS, he said with conviction. Praised the Greek protesters who were burning down Athens as they were fighting for the average Periclis on the street. What is wrong with this picture i asked myself? Was it the alcohol speaking for this Brrrrrit or was he this clueless? He was talking about how backward Cypriots are and i was thinking damn right...you, Bana, are one of those backward Cypriots. I said to him, those immigrants in the republic of Cyprus must make an effort to assimilate to the host country and learn Greek or they can get the f*ck out. I shot back…f*ck those commie protesters who held fueled bombs in the one hand and a 10 Euro latte in the other. Before he could utter another word, i told him to shut it because he was talking sh*t.
In conclusion
Bananiot, shut it, because your talking sh*t.
PS: Go Cardinals!
